Oh for f-ck's sake. 

 

 

Exactly. Of all the people they opted to come back...one of the worst. Yuck. 

 

DAYS had better watch out, the 50th anniversary love isn't going to last forever and the show has built NOTHING to stand on. 

Amen!  I hate JD and Matthew Ashford is so overrated.  This is one return I prayed would not happen.  Thank goodness it's only 5 eppies.  

Is it really too late to have Jennifer go off the deep end and be committed to a sanitarium like her mother before her?

I've been wanting that forever now. I don't want her locked away forever but it could have gone an amazingly long way in repairing this character. I was hoping they were going somewhere with Eve wanting to drive Jennifer nuts like Laura but nope. Of course not. Heaven forbid.

Maybe this is indeed for a Melissa Reeves exit. She started airing again when she rejoined in June 2010 and Ashford would appear around June 2016. I think contracts typically go to the month if there aren't terminations at an odd 13-week period. Hmm...

She only came back for Alice's death and funeral in June 2010. She came back on contract in November 2010.

Ah okay, thank you! 

Honestly, I don't want Jennifer to leave. The best thing they did was separate her and Daniel for good. She's fine as a protective mama for now, but she can find new love again. 

 

I think a post-plastic surgery Peter Blake returning would be a great way to continue a DiMera story, give a juicy plot line to Melissa Reeves, but even an insane man with jungle madness wouldn't have elective surgery to look like Jack, unless "Jack" suddenly looked like a Don Diamont or Cameron Mathison. Hell, Jerry verDorn. 

Once upon a time, Gray Bunny, I might have felt the same as you about Jennifer.  But now...?  Meh.  They could send her packing again, bring back Mike to represent that branch of the Horton clan, and I'll be fine.
